“We will be able to talk about the best team in the history of the Euroleague.”

Mario Hezonia was named EuroLeague Player of the Month for December and was called up Official website From the tournament both for his individual performance and for Real Madrid's hectic run so far, in which he seems to want to stay for a long time.

“I feel good on a personal level, but also as a team because we had a perfect month. We won every game and I think that's important not only for the way we finished the season, but also because we're still on track for the new year.

I didn't know that Mateo would become the first coach (when I first came to Real Madrid). We met and I think we started to grow together, me as a player and him as a coach. We had a plan for me from the beginning. Of course, sometimes you don't like it, sometimes you like it, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's all part of the process and you have to go through it. I stopped working and focused on basketball.

We treat every game with the utmost respect and then we'll see where we are in the playoffs and then we'll see where we are in the Final Four. In the end we want to win it. I still believe in the team. All this progress and records don't affect us, because we definitely want more. There is hunger. There's always that mentality here.

If we succeed in keeping the key players here, I think in the future we can start talking about the best team in Euroleague history. “I hope we can achieve that and that we can move to another level, to something much more than just the things we are focusing on now.”
